Speaker 1: the latest edition of The Break, live from the s

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: WBC Mortgage Studios at the Star. Today we get into

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: the Eagles. We're gonna talk a lot about these Philadelphia Eagles,

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 1: particularly particularly the offense of the Eagles. Nick's can also

12
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: break down his storylines for the week that he sets

13
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: up every week on Dallas Cowboys dot Com. And of

14
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: course we have to talk a little bit about an injury.

15
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: It seems like that's a common topic right now. But

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: yesterday we find out Cowboy's loose Tyrone Crawford looks like

17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: for the season. What do we know about that? I mean, like,

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: when is this something that he came into the year

19
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: with and just kind of got progressively worse? This is

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: something that he's had since the end of last year,

21
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 1: and you know, he tried his best to get it right.

22
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: I said it yesterday. Is like as far as as

23
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: far as like injuries that end your season without being

24
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: like car off the field, Like I feel like the

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: writing was on the wall for this, Like it's not

26
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: super surprising. Yeah, Tyrone didn't have much of a training camp.

27
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: He's been trying to rehab this thing since at least

28
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: the spring, if not even earlier than that. You know,

29
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: and you know, he played the first two games and

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: when you heard he missed two games after that, and

31
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, like right after the Washington game, they were like, well,

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: Tyrone's gonna miss this game. Like it's not even a

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: question of practicing Thursday Friday, He's just not gonna play.

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: You're like, Ah, that doesn't seem like a good sign.

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: And he tried to got it out, couldn't do it.

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna get surgery. It's fair to say this raises

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about his future with the team.

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: I think they can save something like eight million dollars

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: if they cut him this offseason. Obviously he's a huge

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: locker room guy, big in terms of culture. But you

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: do wonder if maybe this is the end for him.

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: Tell me what this means for the rest of the roster,

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys have left, how they filled void that

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna lead by. You don't fill that void

45
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: this year because they don't have a player like him.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: And that's why he's on the team. I mean, it's

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: not why he's on the team, but that's why he's

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: one of the captains, one of the hires paid players

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 1: on the defense because he can do some things that

50
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: other players don't and as far as stopping the run

51
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: and getting some good pass rush. He's tied for the

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: team lead with tackles for loss with two with Jalen

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: Smith and Christian Covington. Tells you a lot right there,

54
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: given the fact that he hasn't been playing all the

55
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: things say, that's a low number for weeks. It's a

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: low number. And we're not talking about a starting defensive

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: lineman right now that's in that group. Um, because Christian

58
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: Covington has been a backup, he's played some, I guess

59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: for our woods, but um, Jalen Smith is a linebacker.

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: You know, you just think you'd get more tackles for

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: lost there. So I mean Tristan Hill. I think we'll

62
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: we'll play more. That doesn't that's that's gonna be a

63
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: drop off, and then they'll have to figure out, you know.

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: And then Dorn's Armstrong's banged up a defensive end. So

65
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: you know what we were talking before about these these

66
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: injuries coming bunches. There's your two defensive ends, Crawford and Armstrong.

67
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: You have two corners banged up, two receivers banged up,

68
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: and obviously the two tackles. And they did. They signed

69
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: a guy by the name of Justin Hamilton. He's a

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: he's a one technique type of guy, six two, three

71
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: twenty like kind of big fatty that that sounds calling

72
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: a pro athlete a big fatty. He's the trash can

73
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: full of dirt type of dtack well that a lot

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: of people have said this team needs. But that doesn't

75
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 1: necessarily replace Tyrone, Like, that's not really what Tyrone did.

76
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: So I am curious about that, especially Dorn's Armstrong is

77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: dealing with the stinger. He's not practicing today, So there

78
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: isn't an obvious clear cut candidate to take those snaps

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: that Tyrone was interested might not play. Actually, if you

80
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: think about if this guy's ready to play. Jason Garrett

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: did I mean Jason Garrett anticipates that this will be

82
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity for Hill, but even still much experience. He's

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: been in the eight career games. He's the classic like

84
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: on and off of practice squads type of guy. He's

85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: been in the league since fifteen, but he's only played

86
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: in eight career games. He's got three career tackles. Yeah,

87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: he hasn't done a whole lot, but he's been around.

88
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: He's been around since fifteen, but he's only been on

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: a fifty three man roster twice before this. He was

90
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: with he was a training camp with the Chiefs and

91
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: hasn't He hasn't been on a team since he got

92
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: cut at the end of the preseason, So I would

93
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: think he's practice squad eligible too, don't you think eight games?

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's but he's been on a

95
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: lot of practice squads already to this point, Like he

96
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: spent the year with Seattle's. He's been around, so I

97
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: don't know if he has eligibility or not going back

98
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: to training camp. I think we had the conversation a

99
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 1: couple of times about Carrie Hyder and the fact that

100
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: they were moving him around between defensive end and Hyder's

101
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: a guy that would benefit from Is this a guy

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: that now has to can slide into a role similar

103
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: to what Tyron Crawford was was having. And I'm not

104
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: talking about the production necessarily as much as it is

105
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: just the flexibility of being able to play all those

106
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: different positions. Maybe he becomes that hybrid player for them,

107
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: or maybe you just don't use a hybrid player. And

108
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: that's why Hamilton's here is like, now you have two

109
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: pretty clear cut one techniques in Wood. Well you got well,

110
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: you got Woods and uh and Hamilton. Now you got

111
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: Hill and Malik and then cot Covington could probably do

112
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: a little bit of both. Um, you have some guys

113
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: who could do both in the kitch right, not your

114
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: end tackle, right, I don't know that you have a

115
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: true like end tackle. I mean, I know Hyder, but

116
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: we haven't really seen it since the season started. And

117
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: you know my thoughts on that, I think, as good

118
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: as it sounds, as good as it is to have

119
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: on game day, I think it hurts the players progression too,

120
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: and it definitely hurts them in terms of their stats

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: and you know, relative to their contract and all that.

122
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean every year. I remember asking Tyron Crawford at

123
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: least three or four times since he's been here, what

124
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: is your position? And he's like a good question. I mean,

125
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, and it's a guy had to keep changing

126
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: his weight back and forth dealing with that, and people

127
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: don't realize. I when that came out, that the report

128
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: and the news about him getting the surgery and being

129
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: out for the whole year, I saw a lot of

130
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: people on Twitter being like, well, doesn't matter, he wasn't

131
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 1: doing anything. Like. What some of those people don't realize

132
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: is how he actually impacts the defensive line and even

133
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: if he's not the one making tackles or getting to

134
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback, he is still affecting the way that the

135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: rest of the guys on the d line are. He

136
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: was playing really well last year, and I thought, you know,

137
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, we said yesterday, I thought that

138
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: was a big issue. Oh this year, you think that

139
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: that I was making something. No, I didn't. I really

140
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: like the way he was going out of yesterday. It

141
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of took me aback. And then afterwards when I

142
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: heard the news, I was like, yeah, you thought the

143
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: emplier was emptn't know that I mean that I'm not

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I knew, but like the writing

145
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: has been on the wall, like you have. You know.

146
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: I talked to Tyrone in the cafeteria back during July

147
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: and kind of got the sense that I was like,

148
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: I thought you would be further along with this than

149
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: you are, and like not in like an accusatory way,

150
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: but just kind of like this is a bigger problem

151
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: than I thought it was. And then he was admit,

152
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: he admitted, yeah, just kind of like you know, still

153
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: working on it's still like really grinding hard in my rehab.

154
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, like I didn't realize that's

155
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: where this was. And then you know, he didn't have

156
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: a training camp, and again you play two games and

157
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: immediately have to sit down and it's not like, oh,

158
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: he might be ready to play, it's like, no, he's

159
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: not gonna play. You just sort of you know, I

160
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: didn't know he was gonna get shut down for the season,

161
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: but I was like, this is a prod, Like this

162
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: is more than you know he did try. Yeah, he tried.

163
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: He's you know, Brandon Carr. Before he left for Baltimore,

164
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: he bestowed the crown on tyrone of good dude, good

165
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: player will never get credit for what he did. Because

166
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: of what he made, They're gonna hate you. Yeah, here

167
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: you go. You know your payment, your repayment for all

168
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: the money you made. Is nobody's gonna like you. And

169
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: my hope is my hope is based upon that they

170
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: can find a contract that's a little more suitable to

171
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: his role, yes, and keep him here because I think

172
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: he's a valuable type player to have. He's just making

173
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: enough money to where he gets unfair criticism in my opinion,

174
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: maybe and maybe it's not worth the money that they're

175
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: giving him for what they're asking of him. Maybe they

176
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: get a deal that actually works for both sides that

177
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: is a little more commenced what they're asking. I'll tell

178
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 1: you this, much like Travis Frederick, he's not gonna go

179
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: anywhere like he's again, he is a big part of

180
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: that culture, that locker room. Like he's going to be

181
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: in every meeting. He's gonna be coaching the other d

182
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: lineman like there's no obligation to be here when you

183
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: go on IR And he's gonna be right in the

184
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: thick of everything, just like Travis was. All right, Let's

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: go ahead and take our first our first break. When

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: it's when he's out on the field that you really

192
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: find out what he's made of. That's why the Cowboys

193
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,400

00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: Versus Eagles. Nick set this thing up for us. There

229
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: there's a story right on Dallas Cowboys dot Com each

230
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: week laying out the five major storylines for each team.

231
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: Let's talk first about those storylines for the Eagles. For

232
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles, well, obviously they're head coach Doug Peterson. You know,

233
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: he had some headlines this week camp coming out and saying,

234
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: I mean basically saying that day we're gonna go down

235
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: there in Dallas and we're gonna win this game, and

236
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: when we do, we're gonna be, you know, first place

237
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: in the NFC East. I mean, I thought it was

238
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: it was it was right on what he was saying about.

239
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's definitely able to say that, and

240
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: he did retract it a little bit and say that,

241
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, hey, we're playing for first place. Dallas is tough,

242
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: and you know that they're in the same boat as

243
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: we are, so you know, he kind of he kind

244
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: of retracted a little bit, but I think he's got

245
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: his message sent to his team for sure, and everyone's

246
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: kind of on alert with that, and NBC, who's doing

247
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: the game, probably loves it as well. Essentially, he said

248
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: publicly what coaches say to their team probably every day. Right,

249
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: we're going to win this game, so right, Yeah, Dave

250
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: loves to cover a coach like that. Um, they you're

251
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: like the third person to tell me that today. Never mind,

252
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: go ahead, Taylor and lindsay, yep, yeah, wow, it's probably true.

253
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: Cover four. I'm Berry. Berry didn't care about this. The

254
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: Eagles cut Zack Brown because because, in my opinion, because

255
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: he's not playing very well. But it really was convenient.

256
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: He did say Kirk Cousins the weakest player of the

257
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: Vikings team. He goes out and throws for three thirty

258
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: three four touchdowns and the win. They were teammates together

259
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: in Washington. The Eagles decided to cut him. I bet

260
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: it's because he's not playing well and not because of

261
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: that comment. I have a hard time of leaving. Doug

262
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Peterson's willing to say we're going to go down there

263
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: and win this game. But he was so mad at

264
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: Zach Brown for calling him the weak link that he

265
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: cut him. No, no, it was about the play. It's

266
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: about the play. But it was hilarious. I found very personally,

267
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: found very amusing watching him after the game and they're

268
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: asking him about his comments and he's like, I'm just

269
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: here to talk about the game. You want to here

270
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: to talk about the game before the game, So no,

271
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: you need right you already. It was hilarious though. I

272
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: thought it was funny. All right. The Eagles are getting

273
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: some cornerback help back this week. Ronald Darby's been out

274
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: with the hamstring injury, and Jaylen Mills has been out

275
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: since last year with the Liz Frank injury. He's working

276
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: back into practice so they get in two corners. They

277
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: need it. They're twenty ninth in the NFL right now.

278
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: And pass defense. I'm sure we'll talk about that a

279
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: little more tomorrow. To Shaun Jackson, he's been a Cowboys killer.

280
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: He's got more receiving guards against the Cowboys than any

281
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: other team in the in his career. He is something

282
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: to watch. Working himself back abdomin injury. He's working himself

283
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: back in. He's not going to practice today, but he

284
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: could play in this game. And I needed a fifth point,

285
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: and I went with the fact that you know, they're

286
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: very similar to the Cowboys in scoring, but really the

287
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: fifth point should be and I'll let Dave speak to this.

288
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: They've ruled out their their tackle, right, Yes, that's huge

289
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: Jason Peters, Well, it is until he tells you who

290
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: they're going to replace him with. Well, and I mean

291
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: they kudos the Eagles. They're really smart. They drafted an

292
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: offensive tackle in the first round knowing that Jason Peters

293
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: is ancient by enough, probably it's better than Jason Peters,

294
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: that's the thing. No, it's his name's Andre Dillard. He

295
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: came out of Washington State. I didn't look before the show,

296
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: but I believe he was the first tackle drafted in

297
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: this class. But which I mean, maybe he'll be great,

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: but he's not rand a night the report on him. Wow. No,

299
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm just no, I mean no, I don't know what

300
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean by that is you're not talking about a

301
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: guy that was undrafted versus the guy that was drafted

302
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: as the first tackle in the draft. There's a different

303
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: you were like you were no, no, no, And I

304
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: know I'm just saying. I'm saying, like there's a big

305
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: difference between those two kinds of players. The report on

306
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: Dillard is that he's very talented, but pretty raw. I mean,

307
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles drafted late, they went to the second round

308
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. This is not a guy they got

309
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: in the top ten. This is not Joe Thomas. So

310
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to say that he's ready to step

311
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: in and be dominant against Robert Quinn from day one.

312
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: But you gotta give the Eagles credit for foreseeing this

313
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: as well as they did. And yes, I'm sure a

314
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: raw first round pick is still more capable of stepping

315
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: in than a lot of other guys that could, including

316
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie free agent um. So, the Eagles offense

317
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: is very talented, but it for a variety of reasons,

318
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: it has not translated in the way that you would

319
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: expect at this point in the season. Some of that's there,

320
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: and some of it's not. Their twentieth their twentieth overall,

321
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: they're they're they're well, they're just kind of middling. Like

322
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: they're sixteenth passing the ball, they're eleventh running the ball,

323
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: they are ninth scoring. So even with all of their problems,

324
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: they still don't struggle to put up points on or off,

325
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: and they're one of three teams in the league that's

326
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: got twenty points or more in every game, so and

327
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: should be more in all honesty, And that's the thing is, like,

328
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, Dak is a lightning rod. Carson Wentz might

329
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: be getting it even worse because he's playing pretty well

330
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: this year. He's completing sixty one percent of his passes.

331
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: He's got fifteen fourteen fifty through six games, which is

332
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: just slightly behind Dakh twelve touchdowns, three picks. He is

333
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: only averaging six point eight yards per attempt, which is

334
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: interesting to me because dink and dunk Dak is over

335
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: here averaging nine. So, you know, don't let narratives or

336
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: don't let facts get in the way of your narratives.

337
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: As I should say, the vertical passing game of the

338
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Cowboys is that now he's dinking dunk Deck. No, No,

339
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: that's what people always call. They're dunking dunk deck never

340
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: throws it. Yeah, it was very tongue in cheek. Okay,

341
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: Dak's averaging nine yards per attempt, he's anything but. But

342
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is settling for fewer yards per attempt than Dak.

343
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: Prescott to this point. A big part of that is

344
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: probably because his receivers can't hold on to the football.

345
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: They lead the league and drops seventeen. Actually, Dak is

346
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: right there behind him, So speak something to what Dak's

347
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: been able to do, especially not always having the people

348
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: he'd prefer. But yeah, Deshaun Jackson's been missing for most

349
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: of the season. Alshon Jefferies just now getting back. Nelson

350
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: Agilore's struggles catching the ball have been immortalized by that

351
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: hilarious dude who saved the babies from the fire in

352
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: Philadelphia a few weeks ago. They called him out. Yeah,

353
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,159
Speaker 1: but Winz has not had a ton of help in

354
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: the wide receiver department because of Jackson's absence. They drafted

355
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: a kid named jj R Siga Whiteside, who dropped the

356
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: game winning touchdown against Detroit in week I want to

357
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: say that was Week three. Matt Hollins has had problems

358
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: with job drops and even then, even when they're not dropping,

359
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: I would say his receivers haven't been helping him out.

360
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: It's been all over Twitter this week went through a

361
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: dime to Alshon Jeffrey. Last week in Minnesota, Jeffrey kind

362
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: of leaned the wrong way. I mean, he was two

363
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: yards behind his coverage and wound up running out of

364
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: bounds on what could have been an absolutely easy touchdown.

365
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: Just stuff like that. Like Winz is not playing poorly

366
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: at all. I just don't think he's getting a ton

367
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: of help. Probably the way they're offsetting that is they

368
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: have two very, very good tight ends. The Eagles actually

369
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: run more twelve personnel than any team in the league

370
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: thirty three. They have Zach Ertz, who is one A

371
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: or one B with Kelsey in terms of best tight end,

372
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: and then Dallas Goddard at the second round pick coming

373
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: into his own playing pretty well. I would bet they're

374
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: going to lean on both of those guys pretty heavily,

375
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: even if de Sean Jackson comes back, like you're gonna

376
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: have to account for both of them. Jordan Howard is

377
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: the starting running back. He's very good, but the guy,

378
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: like Miles Sanders, was one of my absolute favorite players

379
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: in this draft. The Eagles are struggling to get him involved,

380
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: which I think is a gigantic mistake. He's averaging nine

381
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: carries a game and two catches a game, but he's explosive.

382
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: He's averaging two catches a game, but he's averaging seventeen

383
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: yards a catch. Last week in Minnesota, they sent him

384
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: on a wheel route right through the center of the

385
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: defense and again two yards behind the coverage, easy thirty

386
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown. Linebacker didn't stand a chance. It's the

387
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: type of stuff I'd love to see the Cowboys do

388
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: with Tony Pollard. But that's his topic a week. When

389
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: you have some injuries at wide receiver, that's a nice

390
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: That's another topic for another day. They're very good at

391
00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: converting third downs fifty percent. Peterson. We know he's aggressive.

392
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: We all watched that Super Bowl. They went forward on

393
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: a fourth and two at midfield in Minnesota. They actually

394
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: didn't get it, but they're willing to. Like. This is

395
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: a team that their coach is, I think, a little

396
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: bit out in front of popular coaching tactics. So I mean,

397
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: let's be fair, Garrett does that, I would not like

398
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: Garrett is it goes for a fourth and one of

399
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: the Saints and they gets it and Zeke fumbles. I mean,

400
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: I think Peterson's more aggressive, which and it's probably most

401
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: aggresive in the league when it comes to it, and

402
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: maybe outside of the Patriots. Yeah, they seem like they

403
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: do it quite And there's the whole thing with you know,

404
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: you saw him they went for two when they were

405
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: up what they scored to go up seven against Green

406
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: Bay and went for two, which I thought was honestly ludicrous.

407
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: But that's that's the thing analytics people tell you, that's

408
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: the thing to do. Is like, that's when you have

409
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: the best chance of making it, and you can make

410
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: it a two possession game. But I just take the

411
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: easy points. Take the easy point. That's gonna put pressure

412
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: on the other team to convert a two point conversion, right,

413
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: Am I crazy for thinking about unless you weren't three

414
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: or four years ago, But now with extra points are

415
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: kind of dicey too. It's almost like, you know, it's

416
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: not as easy as we'll just get making the extra point.

417
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: You know. Maybe, yeah, you're like, but I feel just

418
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: as confident that we can run this route here to

419
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: Jeffrey and we'll go up nine and put the game away,

420
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: as you know, if it's if it's a slam dunk

421
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: extra point. But I don't know how many kickers in

422
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: the league are slam dunk extra point guys who they

423
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: have Elliott his name is Jake, Jake oh boy, Yeah, yeah,

424
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: Jake Elliott, Yeah, you're right. Yeah. I mean, if you

425
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 1: have a team that's really good in the red zone,

426
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: if you have a team that's really good in short yardage,

427
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: then the argument, especially if you have a kicker that's

428
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: kind of in then I think you can make the

429
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: argument that you should go for two pretty often because,

430
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: like you said, the likelihood of converting one is about

431
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: the same as converting the other, and you do put

432
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,719
Speaker 1: an added pressure on the opponent if you can get it,

433
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: so that like, honestly, it kind of I think they're

434
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: playing better than the Dallas defense, but it reminds me

435
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: of the Dallas defense in the sense of, like there's

436
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: talent everywhere that hasn't necessarily translated to them being as

437
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: fantastic as they should be. I mean, they're only one

438
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: of three, Nick, you said, one of three teams in

439
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: the league that scored twenty every week. Yeah, and it's

440
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 1: not it's Seattle Baltimore in them Baltimore, but even Baltimore

441
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: is leading New Division. So they're still having they're still

442
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: having success, but they just they do not have that

443
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: They do not have that explosive offense yet, and I

444
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a big part has to

445
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: do with the supporting cast, Like you don't have that

446
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: guy that can take the top off the defense, like

447
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson. You don't have just a reliable guy that's

448
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: just gonna catch it. I mean, you know a guy

449
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: that you can count on to make tough plays. Because Aglore,

450
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: he's had his moments. They get him the ball a

451
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: variety of interesting ways, but he's not reliable. The rookie

452
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: Arsega Whiteside doesn't seem like he's ready for it yet.

453
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: But man, and I don't you don't need me to

454
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 1: tell you this, but Carson Wentz is he's really impressive.

455
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 1: He's got some Aaron Rodgers to his game in the

456
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: sense of his arm is incredible. He made he made

457
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: a throw against Minnesota in this game last week. He

458
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: was having the d tackle pushed back into him and

459
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating, literally falling away and just flips his

460
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: wrist and throws a twenty five yards to Agalore and

461
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was completed, put it right out in

462
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: front him and the coverage was good too. Like his

463
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: arm is just scary talented, is way better of an

464
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: athlete than I would say he gets credit for being

465
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: a six four white quarterback or sixty three however tall

466
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: he is. I mean, he looks smoother running the read

467
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: option than Dak does in my opinion. Like he I mean,

468
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: he can do that type of stuff. Obviously, he got

469
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: hurt doing that a couple of years ago, so you

470
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: want to probably be careful with that. But he can

471
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: hurt you with his athleticism, not just running but extending

472
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: plays too. So he's going to be tough to account for.

473
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: I was just thinking what you talked about, Aaron Rodgers.

474
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Did y'all watch the Lions game the other night? Yes,

475
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: the throw that he made to Jimmy Graham late in

476
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: the game, Graham coming across the field and there's a

477
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: corner coming off at the ball. It's like that ball's

478
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: got to be absolutely perfect, not just really good throw,

479
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: it's got to be absolutely perfect or it's picked yep.

480
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: Just the confidence that he has to man, he put

481
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: it right on them, I mean, like right on the money,

482
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, Like and listen, anybody, everybody knows how I

483
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: feel about Dak. I think the world of him, But

484
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: like that's that's the difference between the guys that get

485
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: drafted in the top five, and you know, people thought

486
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: Rogers should have been the number one overall pick and

487
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick. Like Dak's great, he like not

488
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: very many guys have that just god given ability where

489
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 1: you can be getting murdered and put it on a

490
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: dime forty yards away, like that's even when you're not

491
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: getting murdered. I mean, you think about this last game,

492
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of those drops were on

493
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: the receivers because they gotta make them. But how many

494
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: times a season have we said, but it could have

495
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: been a better ball, Right, That's just DA's not the

496
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna always just put it right on the

497
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: target where it needs to and that makes it a

498
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: little tougher. Yeah, it makes it a little toughs It

499
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: seems I can make those tough catches. Aaron Rodgers just

500
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: needs Alan Lazard to go out there and make the

501
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: make the you know the route as I say, I mean,

502
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: you know Dak's capable of it. The Beasley throw against

503
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: New York and he's thrown some dimes this season. The

504
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: one to gallop against the Giants comes to mind. But

505
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 1: like Wentz and Rogers just seemed to do that type

506
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: of stuff five or six times a game. Yeah. Hey,

507
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 1: the other thing I was going to mention and throw

508
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: it to you. I know you've watched a few of

509
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: the games. It seemed like the best at this offense

510
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: has been is when to Shawn Jackson was in there,

511
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: particularly in that first game at the second half, I

512
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: think was when he really kind of went off and

513
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: they started really just having all these bombs. How much

514
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: does that concerned you, knowing that the Cowboys have some

515
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: injury concerns in the secondary, knowing that, yeah, they give

516
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: up the big play, how much does that all play

517
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: into this thing? If de Sean Jackson's back, that should

518
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: terrify anybody. I mean, the best, well not the best corner,

519
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: and then you're starting nickel corner. Anthony Brown are both

520
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: not practicing today. They have hamstrings, so even if they

521
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: can play, that doesn't sound And that's I mean, that's

522
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: the Shawan Jackson to a t. Right. So people are

523
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: gonna scoff when I say this, But like I would

524
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: try to put Cheeto on him as often as I could,

525
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: just because Cheeto has I mean, he ran twenty three

526
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: miles an hour to catch se Quon Parkley, like, he's

527
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: got that speed and athleticism to keep up with him.

528
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: He might not win every battle, but you would think

529
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: he's not going to get torched, whereas a guy with

530
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: a gimpie hamstring might. That's true. And then if Byron

531
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: Jones can play, which I think Jones has the best

532
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: chance to play of those two corners, he can go

533
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: up against Aglar. But if you if you have to start,

534
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: you know, Jordan Lewis in this game, you know, and

535
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: go up. And I like Jordan Lewis. I mean, I like,

536
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: I think he's playing well. But I mean I al

537
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: I meant to say, alshon jeff You put Alshon Jeffrey

538
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: against Lewis. You don't love that hype matchup? You know,

539
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're gonna have to make a move

540
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: at at corner up Well, you know you got Alumba,

541
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: you got Mike Jackson. Let's say Byron plays. Who who's

542
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: still better though a bang dub Byron Jones or healthy Cheeto. Well,

543
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to make that choice because

544
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: Cheeto's gonna play regardless. I mean, well, yeah, but I'm

545
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: saying in this scenario, like would you prefer I mean

546
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take my chances with Cheeto. Yeah again,

547
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: just purely on health, speed, athleticism, straight line speed, which

548
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: that's what scares you about Sean Jackson. And then Byron

549
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: if he can play, he's got the length and the athleticism.

550
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: Like Jeffreys game is more about length and size. I mean,

551
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: I'll take my chances. And do you think here's another

552
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: big issue too, is that this is where they hurt

553
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: you with their tight ends because zach Ertz is the

554
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: guy that you would like to put a cornerback on

555
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: if you can. You know, Byron Jones would be perfect

556
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 1: to go up against zach Ertzn. No, not really. So

557
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: what's Brian actually wrote about this for the site today,

558
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: which and it's you know, don't kill the messenger. But

559
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be Jeff Heath that has to draw

560
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: that assignment. And Heath made the play of that game

561
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: in Philly last year where he broke up the fourth

562
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: down pass that kind of killed Philly's chances of coming

563
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: back to tie the game. Zach Ertz still have fourteen

564
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: catches for I don't remember off the top of my head,

565
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: but he had a nice day. That's exactly where I

566
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: was going to go with that. If you're talking about

567
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: letting Deshaun Jackson beat you on a fifty nine yard

568
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: touchdown or letting Zach Ertz catch four or five passes,

569
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: and that means they still have to drive the ball

570
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: down the field without making mistakes on a long drive.

571
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that. So in this instance, I still

572
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: say do what you gotta do to make sure Jackson

573
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: doesn't beat you deep, Like that's the first part exactly,

574
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,959
Speaker 1: and then you deal with whatever else you gotta deal

575
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: with others. And the irony is that Cheeto contributed to

576
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 1: a ninety two yard touchdown just last week. Yeah, but

577
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: I still think it's your best bet. But then does

578
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: that also make the Cowboys change a little bit? They

579
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: like to play that single safety hide. Does this force

580
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: them in this instance to say, hey, this is a

581
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: week we might need to keep both our safeties back

582
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: rather than bringing a safety down because we gotta be

583
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: able to protect the back end of the field. Hurts

584
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: caught fourteen balls for one forty five and two touchdowns

585
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: in that game. He if Yeah, So I mean that's

586
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: it's like, this is one of the probably the most

587
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: well rounded offenses and Cowboys have played to this. They

588
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: have beat by the by the bad Falcons. You know

589
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,959
Speaker 1: they get beat I mean, but again, I mean, and

590
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: you're right, they got beat bad by Minnesota. Minnesota beat

591
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: him by eighteen points. But there are plays they left

592
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, yeah, everybody know. Agalore drops a

593
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: walk in touchdown that would have swung that game. Jeffrey

594
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: runs out of bounds on what would have been a

595
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: crazy play. And by the way, the guy they made

596
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: that first game, their offense looks so good, wasn't there.

597
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: And that's the part I think is the big key

598
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: or the John Jackson plays. It changes everything about how

599
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: you have to defend their defense, their offense. Did you

600
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: want to do with Jalen? Do you want to play

601
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: him closer to the line or push him back a

602
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: little more? Love? I don't love Jalen out in space

603
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: cover right now down, feel like I just I personally

604
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: don't think that's a that's a good thing, laughing because

605
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 1: it's like my answer is I don't like him. At

606
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, They're going up against even tackles,

607
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 1: so I don't So where do you like him? I mean,

608
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, we probably are giving Jen.

609
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: We've probably given Jayalen a little bit too much of

610
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: a hard time. I know I've been pretty adamant about

611
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: that yesterday. But all that being said, I still don't

612
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: like him necessarily in coverage situations and playing in space

613
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: down feel very much. I'd much rather see him just

614
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: being a linebacker going sideline. The sideline actually, you know,

615
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: I like when he blitz he has he tends to

616
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: have a pretty decent knack for blitzing, So use him

617
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: in that role, you know, I know, you know, people

618
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: criticize me because I make it sound like the other

619
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: teams unbeatable sometimes, but you have to consider the Eagles

620
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: are capable of running the ball really well too. They

621
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 1: killed the Packers. You know, they averaged five yards of carry,

622
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: ran for one seventy five in that game. That's before

623
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: the Packers game. That's all we talked about was, well,

624
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles proved you can run on these guys. And

625
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: so with the way the Cowboys have played run defense,

626
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: like it's you can't afford to give up that part

627
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: of the game because Sanders and Howard are both really good.

628
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,479
Speaker 1: Like It's not like this offense is purely a passing

629
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: attack and that's only through for one sixty in that game.

630
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: That's the thing about this offense, Like I said, it's

631
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: well rounded. They have a lot of different weapons at

632
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: a lot of different positions, and they force you to

633
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: choose which one you're going to defend and pay extra

634
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 1: attention to. And when you do that, they have the

635
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: ability to be able to take advantage of something else,

636
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: whether they do or don't, that's the issue. I have

637
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: a hard time believing that the winner of this game

638
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: will have fewer than thirty four points. I agree, this

639
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: is going to be a barn burn. It's going to

640
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: be a track me. You have a hard time deliving

641
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: a lot of things. I do be saying that a

642
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,080

716
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: Derek Eagleson. I'll take those questions. There. We have a

717
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: question from BA vander Muse. He says, m would the

718
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: defense be better with Rod calling the plays? Over? Richard?

719
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 1: I think Rod is better at knowing the flow of

720
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: the game. What are your thoughts just if you took

721
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: it from a big picture of what was happening last

722
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 1: year versus what's happening this year. Is there anything that

723
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: you can put your finger on as far as how

724
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: the game's being called, things that they're doing strategically that

725
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: may account for the differences in what we're seeing he

726
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: was calling last year. Right, That's it's a poorly kept

727
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: secret that Chris Rashard was calling the defense last year. Right,

728
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: Rod Marinelli, I mean tremendous respect for him, But since

729
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: Chris Rashard got here, his focus has been the defensive line.

730
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: He's the he's the rush coach. That's what he does.

731
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: So like people want answers, that's it's it's weird, like

732
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: the person is mostly the same. You could argue it's

733
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: better because Robert Quinn is here and they're not playing

734
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: as well, and I'm sure they're just as flummoxed by

735
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: it as we are. But I mean, I don't I

736
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: don't see this huge difference in tendencies. Honestly, even you

737
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: go back to around this time last year, they were

738
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: still making some of the same mistakes Seattle. Seattle torched

739
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: him on long touchdowns twice in Week three last year,

740
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: Detroit got him. Golden Tate was still in Detroit at

741
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: the time, and he just abused the secondary for two

742
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: long touchdowns. So you know, it's it's it's easy to

743
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: think and they were good last year, but it's easy

744
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: to think that everything was perfect last year, and that's

745
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: not necessarily the case. They're playing poorly doesn't mean they

746
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: will continue to play poorly. Obviously, the hope is that

747
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: they don't. But I don't think there's like this magical

748
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: pill or you know, somebody else called the defense and

749
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: it will magically get better. I just think across the board,

750
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: they're not playing as well as they were and they

751
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: need to. And then the relationship between those two, I mean,

752
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, it appears to be really good,

753
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: Like they work well together. It's not that one of

754
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: them just overtakes one role completely and just has his

755
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: own voice, and that's what it is. I think that

756
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 1: Rod has allowed Chris Rushard to do his own thing

757
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: and they do it mutually, and it showed that it

758
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 1: worked last year. I just like that. I can't really

759
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: figure out exactly what has happening this year because when

760
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: you talk about the personnel, it's still the same and

761
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: if anything, after a year, it should be better. The

762
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: one thing I would point out there, though, is I

763
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: think what we don't really always factor in is probably

764
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: the two most positions, the two most important positions on

765
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: any defense, your pass rusher and your top cornerback. Both

766
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: those instances, those guys came into the season, came into

767
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 1: season coming off injuries, Yeah, didn't practice drought training camp,

768
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: and both of them had have a different time shown

769
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: up on the injury report this year, right, So you

770
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: start thinking about that from that perspective, I think, yeah,

771
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: you would expect that it's the same. You'd expect the

772
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: personnel's the same. The fact matter is those players may

773
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: not be as ready to do the things they were

774
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: doing last year because of injury and because they miss

775
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: training camp, right, and that may be something that takes

776
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of time for them to get to

777
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: the point where they're playing at that level. Maybe they're

778
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 1: not there yet. And that's and you know, it's it's

779
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: the it's it comes with the dinner of being an

780
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 1: NFL player. Unfortunately, is we spend all offseason like, well,

781
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 1: they'd be ready for the season opener. They gotta be

782
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: ready for the season opener. They gotta be ready. And

783
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: then they're ready, but they're not necessarily ready and their

784
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: play suffers for it. But what else, As DeMarcus Lawrence

785
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: has said, nobody cares, nobody feels sorry for you. You're

786
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: handsomely paid, and they're honored out There's well, okay, Byron

787
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: and DeMarcus, that's fine. What about the other nine, I mean,

788
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: there's it's a team sport. There's nine other guys that

789
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: are well, we already talked about we already talked about

790
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: the fact that I don't think I don't think right

791
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: now you could make the claim that's Xavier, that Cheeto,

792
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 1: that you know Heath, that any of these guys that

793
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 1: that Jalen or vander esh are playing better than they

794
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: played last year. That's my probably playing worst. So so yes,

795
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: but they're not necessarily performing better well even the same.

796
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: And I just, you know, I don't think it's as

797
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 1: I think it's as simple as they're just not playing well.

798
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: Like you know, it's not like, oh, somebody can come

799
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: in here and call something better and it'll get better.

800
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: I think they all just need to hunker down and

801
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: play better defense. And you know they're we're talking about

802
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: the last eight games I guess of last year. I mean,

803
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: I don't remember where they ranked after the sixth game

804
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: after they beat the Jaguars, But I bet it's not

805
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: as good as what it is this year. It's just

806
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: it's just the perception of the the I mean, they

807
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: just haven't they haven't played well. The Jets are not

808
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: a good offense, and they let them make too many

809
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: plays and they didn't win. They didn't take advantage of

810
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: when the defense played well. But when you just look

811
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: at the stats, I mean, the stats are show that

812
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: this is a good defense. That's why numbers can lie,

813
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: because the stats show that overall, this is the ninth

814
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: best defense in yards, and then you look at points,

815
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: it's the tenth best defense in points, So it shows

816
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: that it's pretty good. Yeah, but it hasn't been good

817
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: enough for an offense that's been just as inconsistent and

818
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: they're not matching up well in the right games except

819
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins. Feel like there's probably a lot of

820
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL that would take what the Dallas

821
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: defense has done, but the expectations and rightfully so, like

822
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: the expectations are higher than that based on what they did.

823
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: And again, somebody else I had this conversation before the

824
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: press conference day is like they're not bad, they just

825
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: don't do anything great. And one like they don't have

826
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: that one thing. They don't do anything explosive. Again, like

827
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: to the leader on the team has two tackles for loss,

828
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 1: I've seen Tank do that in one game before. Right,

829
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: they don't do that, they don't stuff the run, they

830
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: don't get takeaways, all that, and they need to be

831
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: better because of the offense. Like they had a really

832
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 1: good performance in New Orleans, but they needed to be

833
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: great and outstanding and don't hold them to four field goals,

834
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 1: hold them to three and then they could have won.

835
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: So this this defense is not playing as well, but

836
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: the offense has been crap at times, especially in the

837
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: first half. So any it's to be better than that.

838
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 1: I ask a question. I don't know if you guys

839
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: talked about it yesterday, you know the clip that was

840
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: going around on social media with the players coming off

841
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: the field and Garrett. Y'all talked about it. Yes, I

842
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 1: don't think they did. Okay, well, I haven't been in

843
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,240
Speaker 1: the locker room just yet. Even after the game. I

844
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: was listening to Jerry, so I didn't go inside. Do

845
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: you guys feel or think or even in our having

846
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 1: that perception of the team kind of starting to give

847
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: up on Garrett. I would have to see more than that,

848
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 1: more than Malate Collins, who you can't get him to

849
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's not that you know, outgoing anyways, and

850
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: for him to see it, you know, maybe he saw it,

851
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't. I don't know. It's a five second

852
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: clip of it, but you know how people react. Of

853
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: course I do, and that and it's it's ridiculous, which

854
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: I think, you know, we we probably take that for

855
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: granted because of how close we are where all of

856
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: us are like, that's stupid, and but I mean it

857
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: is a valid talking point among fans and media right now.

858
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: I saw it as four extremely pissed off and frustrated

859
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: professionals who are like, probably more focused on whatever crap

860
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 1: happened behind him than he was trying to high five

861
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: of them. I don't ascribe a lot to it at all.

862
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: And look at it again, was it more than one?

863
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: Was like four of them? Two or three guys? Malik

864
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: is the one who's really obvious in the frame. I

865
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: don't I don't buy it. And again, you know, we

866
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: we talked about this last year when they you know,

867
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 1: they fell to three and five, and we had the

868
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: same conversation and what happened after that. And I'm not

869
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: trying to say that you know they're gonna go on

870
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: a seven game winning streak, but you know, okay, I

871
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: think about I think about the Green Bay game that

872
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: got Wade fired. I wasn't even here for that. But

873
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: when when that happens, that's when, you know, not because MALIEK.

874
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: Collins doesn't feel like giving out a high five, you know, Yeah,

875
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: And that's the thing. Like in that game, it got

876
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 1: to a point where it was literally a nick you

877
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: you were there too. To me, it felt like as

878
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 1: the game was going on that more and more the

879
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: team was just kind of like not fighting, like and

880
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: that's Jason's whole big thing, a fight Like in these

881
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 1: games they've lost. These aren't games where they're just like

882
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: not fighting. They're they're in these games even at the end.

883
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: They just figures where I think that, But that's a

884
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: problem that they have to take so long to get there,

885
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: and it's a problem they're not figuring out how to

886
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: win it. But that is a different thing than they're

887
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: not fighting during the game. That's a whole different bang. Right,

888
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: But who whose job is it to getting ready to play? Yeah? Right?

889
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: And that's a problem. That's absolutely it has been a problem.

890
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind them. Like figuring out how

891
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: to win at the end is not the issue these

892
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: three weeks. It's being present for the start and criticize

893
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: Garrett all you want for that. Yeah, that's that's a

894
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: huge part of the job. But I think the reason why,

895
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: my personal belief is the reason why Wade got fired

896
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: is because the team was no longer willing yeah to fight.

897
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: They were basically they get down and they just got

898
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: We're not at that point. Let's not forget too that.

899
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: The night before the game, I mean, Rob and I

900
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: were out at a restaurant, a watering hole. Yeah. Well,

901
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: we saw his son, West Phillips, who was a tight

902
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 1: ends coach or receivers coach or whatever at the time,

903
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: and he was like, yeah, it's just been tough. We

904
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 1: lose tomorrow, Dad's getting fired. And we were like at

905
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: that point, we're looking at each other, like you know,

906
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, it's you don't have to be awkward

907
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: about it. Everyone knows. I'm like okay. And then it

908
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: lost forty five to seven, and then like yeah, maybe

909
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: it's fired. And this is a conversation for another day.

910
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: But like it's it's hard to put a finger on

911
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: like what that point is for this team. Okay. I

912
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 1: mean I think everybody last year at three and five

913
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,879
Speaker 1: was kind of like this could be it, and then

914
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: it turned around. I don't feel like we're there right now,

915
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: but I I do wonder how far away that is,

916
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you lose this game and go

917
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: into the buy. I don't think Jason Garrett's getting fired.

918
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: But it's it's not crazy to be wondering about it,

919
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And that's the thing. The

920
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: part of it is whether it is or isn't. It's

921
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be the talking point. So that's gonna be

922
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: swirling around the team if they should lose this game,

923
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: and that's two weeks off. It's swirling around the team.

924
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: And that's where you have to worry about. Just as

925
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: the mentality of a team dynamic, how much does that

926
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: start to seep into guy's heads and when they're going

927
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: off talk to their you know, spending a little time

928
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: away from the team, and their buddies are talking to them,

929
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 1: and their families talking to them, how much that starts

930
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: creeping their head? Man? Yeah, coach man, what's wrong with you? Coach?

931
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: You know that kind of stuff is stuff you worry

932
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 1: about when you're dealing with team dynamics. All right, we
